When I suffered from renal cholic er kidney stones, the pain was so unbearable that if some one had offered me a 'death pill' I would have taken it unquestioningly without hesitation. In the future as I age, I expect more of that type of misery during my bodily decline, when the pain becomes that bad, I can see no reason why I cannot make the decision to 'go'. I hope I get an 'active' doctor on my side when I most need it.
